Chapter 197 Han Chunming's Performance
Han Chunming played with the two girls for an entire afternoon. He Yukai had already found an excuse to leave. It was not a good idea for him to get involved in the world of young people.
Soon afterwards, He Qian also found an opportunity to leave in time, which showed that she had some courtesy.
On the other hand, Han Chunming's attentions to Xu Jingli gave her goosebumps, and she felt uncomfortable being caught in the middle.
Is it too licking? I can't stand it.
At around four o'clock, Han Chunming reluctantly saw Xu Jingli back to the tavern.
Han Chunming was very happy about today's exchange, mainly because Xu Jingli was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle.
He felt that it would be nice to live his life like this. With his goddess sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, he felt safe and sweet as he rode.
There were not many customers when I returned to the tavern. The tavern was very quiet and there were no customers.
When they walked to the backyard of the tavern, they saw Hou Kui there. When Xu Jingli saw him, he immediately showed his signature smile, walked up to him, took out a love poem he had written, and started reading it aloud.
This made Han Chunming very annoyed, and Xu Jingli was also annoyed.
Hou Kui was not so anxious at first, but after the college entrance examination, he and Xu Jingli were not in the same school, which put a huge pressure on Hou Kui.
Hou Kui has liked Xu Jingli for a long time, and today he saw Han Chunming sending Xu Jingli back, which made Hou Kui feel even more upset.
He knew that Han Chunming was not knowledgeable enough, so he took out the love poem he had prepared long ago and read it aloud, just to make Han Chunming give up.
Hou Kui is a nice person, but both families are against them being together.
Xu Huizhen likes Hou Kui, but is unwilling to have him become her son-in-law. Chen Xueru is even more unwilling to become Xu Huizhen's relative.
Hou Kui just wants to pursue his own happiness, but Xu Jingli is not interested. In the play, Xu Jingli agreed because she had no choice but to be pestered. This is what it means that a good girl is afraid of being pestered by a man.
In fact, Hou Kui is not suitable for Xu Jingli. The relationship between the two families is complicated enough, and it becomes even more complicated with such a relationship.
Han Chunming felt helpless when he saw Hou Kui's look. He really couldn't compare with those who were good at writing poems and lyrics, but he did have his own advantage, which was treasure appraisal. In this regard, even if you used all your skills, you would still not be his opponent.
Each has its own advantages, but not everyone likes literary youths. The briefing is different, it is high-end and the key is that Xu Huizhen and Cao Quanwu both like collecting, so Hou Kui is at a disadvantage in this regard.
These people knew each other. Given He Yuzhu's relationship, it was impossible for them not to know each other, but they were just nodding acquaintances.
Now we have become love rivals inexplicably. I can only say that nothing is absolute in this world. You can never predict when two people will interact with each other, and maybe this interaction will catch both of them off guard.
If Han Chunming wants to marry Xu Jingli, he still has to go through some struggle.
However, neither of them is a sinister villain. If it were Fan Xiaojun, it would be different. It would definitely be a bloody storm.
Just at this moment, Cai Quanwu walked in carrying an official hat chair. Han Chunming's eyes rolled and he immediately ran over to take it, but Cai Quanwu dodged.
Han Chun knew that he was about to show off, and his father-in-law handed him a pillow because he was sleepy, but Cai Quanwu dodged it. This was a treasure, and it kept bumping into the careless thing. What should he do?
"Chunming, this is a good thing. I'd better do it myself. If you bump into it, Aunt Xu will be heartbroken."
Cai Quanwu knew a little about Han Chunming's situation, but he was not very clear about his attainments in this area, nor did he know who his master was. He only heard He Yukai mention it once.
But age is there, and as the saying goes, a man without hair on his lips cannot do things well.
"Uncle Cai, you underestimated me, right? This official hat chair is made in the open, right?"
Han Chunming was a secretive person and would not easily reveal his abilities, but Cai Quanwu was different. This was his designated father-in-law, and it would be unjustifiable for him to keep it secret, especially when a love rival appeared.
"Boy, I have a moment."
Han Chunming's words made Cai Quanwu feel uncertain. This guy has some skills, why didn't he show them before? They have known each other for quite some time, but they only knew that Han Chunming knew a little, but they didn't know his level. Now it seems that his attainments are not low.
"I need the guidance of an expert. You know that person. He is my last disciple."
Han Chunming decided to reveal his abilities and his master appropriately, as this was due to the sense of crisis brought about by Hou Kui.
"Oh? May I ask which master you are from?"
"Mr. Guan, the self-proclaimed Nine Gates Admiral"
"So you are Master Guan's disciple. Let's go inside and have a good chat. You are a very good hidden person."
Seeing Cai Quanwu coming back, Hou Kui didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He flirted with someone's daughter in front of her old father. I'm afraid you don't know how to write the word death, right?
When Xu Jingli saw Cai Quanwu inviting Han Chunming to walk into the room where she had to be so cautious, her beautiful eyes opened wide.
It seemed like she had seen something incredible and was so shocked. Even if Chen Xueru came over and wanted to go in to get it, she had to get Xu Huizhen's approval.
My mother's treasures are kept in that room. I have to be very careful whenever I go in, for fear of accidentally touching those things and being blamed by my mother.
Now that her father actually invited an outsider in, she immediately reacted and followed him. She wanted to see Han Chunming's real ability.
Hou Kui wanted to follow, but the two families were not close, and of course he knew that he could not enter that room without an invitation. If he went in directly, he would completely offend Xu Huizhen. It might not be a big problem if he offended Cai Quanwu, but if he offended Xu Huizhen, he would be completely finished.
He could only watch the three people walk in, shook his head unwillingly, and went back dejectedly.
Han Chunming was also stunned by the collection. There were so many antique furniture. Yes, most of them were furniture, and there were very few porcelains.
Then they discussed the items one by one. The more Cai Quanwu talked, the more shocked he became. Han Chunming also found two imitations of them. Although they were imitations of the late Qing Dynasty, they were definitely inferior to the originals.
Cai Quanwu was very satisfied with Han Chunming and kept asking for advice. From the initial communication to the later questions, Han Chunming talked freely.
Perhaps Cai Quanwu did not realize the change in attitude, but Xu Jingli saw it clearly.
At this time Xu Huizhen walked in and saw that the three of them were concentrating and listening carefully. It was the first time he saw Cai Quanwu like this.
As a bystander, Xu Huizhen saw it more clearly. Cai Quanwu acted completely like a student, asking questions non-stop and then looking like he suddenly understood something.
At this time, Xu Huizhen had an intuitive understanding of He Yukai's evaluation of Han Chunming. The master was right next to them, but they didn't know it. She had a deeper understanding of the saying that one should not judge a person by his appearance.
Feeling that this young man was really good, Han Chunming had unknowingly left a deep impression on the three people.
There is a report saying that girls all worship their fathers. If a man appears who has many similarities with their father, or is even more capable than their father, the feeling of worshipping their father will slowly shift until they become husband and wife.
If this report is true, then Han Chunming's relationship has already begun.
While Han Chunming was performing hard, He Yukai returned to the courtyard house he had just bought and began to look at each room one by one.
Thinking of the legends and gossips of later generations, many courtyard houses have a basement. He Yukai wants to use his spatial sensing ability to see if there is a basement in this courtyard. In case there is a basement that has not been discovered by the owner, he can let those dusty things see the light of day again.
When He Yukai was becoming increasingly hopeless, he actually sensed a basement and some boxes under the main house in the middle courtyard. This discovery made He Yukai excited.
Many people are interested in treasure hunting, and He Yukai is no exception. He mainly likes the feeling.
He Yukai did not receive the space directly, as he wanted to experience the fun of treasure hunting.
He Yukai bent down, thinking about the scenes in the TV series Nirvana in Fire, and knocked here and there, listening to where the hollow sound came from.
After a while, they finally found the entrance. They lifted the floor tiles and found wooden boards underneath. He Yukai couldn't tell what material the boards were made of. Maybe they were cypress or maybe they were more expensive antiseptic boards. Anyway, they were very strong.
He found a pickaxe and carefully lifted up the wooden board, and a basement entrance appeared in front of He Yukai.
He Yukai waited for a long time, and tried several times to find a half-burned candle. When the candle did not go out, he went down. He Yukai was fully focused. Many TV dramas have plots with secret rooms and mechanisms, so he must not capsize in the gutter.
As a result, he didn't find any mechanism in the basement. He Yukai walked to the box with great expectations. The box was not locked. After opening it, He Yukai was dumbfounded. It was empty and there was nothing inside.
He Yukai was dumbfounded. There were empty boxes hidden in the secret room? Was he kidding? He reluctantly opened the remaining boxes and found they were indeed empty.
He Yukai walked out of the secret room helplessly, and could only comfort himself that it would be nice to clean up the place and use it as a cellar. He Yukai shook his head unwillingly and turned away.
He was indeed overthinking. How could the relatives of the ragged Hou not know about the secret room? If they knew, why would they keep the treasure? Or maybe the landlord's prodigal ancestor had already built it, and it was already great to be able to keep this house.
The camera turned and Han Chunming had a delicious meal at Xu Huizhen's house, which made He Jiang marvel.
There is nothing strange about Han Chunming eating here, but it is a bit strange to be taken care of by his own grandparents.
These days, He Jiang took Guan Lin to visit various major tourist attractions in Beijing, and he had long forgotten where his home was. He Jiang, Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen all liked him very much.
The most important thing is that the old couple has no son. He Jiang often comes to play and enjoys watching a lot of naughty children.
However, He Jiang did not ask rashly. This was not the right occasion. It would be bad if Han Chunming was embarrassed.
The two are also good friends and have spent a lot of time together.
Han Chunming has a very good relationship with several children of the He family, mainly because his personality is not something that people like to hate.
When Han Chunming returned to his compound, he caused a tsunami-like sensation in the compound, mainly because of the brand new bicycle that made people in the compound unbelievable.
Everyone in the compound knew that Han Chunming spent all his salary every month, and Han's mother often scolded Han Chunming for spending money indiscriminately. Now he actually came back riding a brand new bicycle, which must cause a sensation!
Children see the good in themselves, while wives see the good in others.
They originally thought that their children were already very outstanding, but they found out that the fifth child of the Han family was far ahead of most people. They felt very uncomfortable. They originally thought that all children were the same, but now they find out that other people's children are far better than theirs. It would be strange if they could feel comfortable.
None of the families in Han Chunming's compound are in bad condition. If there is a family with bad conditions, it is probably theirs. They have many children and their father died early. Now the children have grown up and have jobs. The Han family's life has improved at a visibly fast pace, while they are still standing still.
People like Su Meng in the compound all have bicycles, but they only got them because of their parents. They are not like Han Chunming, who bought a bicycle with his own ability.
Chen Jianjun became unhappy when he saw this, because he thought he was better than Han Chunming and had a better family background than Han Chunming. Now Han Chunming was riding a bicycle, but he was not. The bicycle at home still belonged to his father, who had to ride it to work, and it was not his own.
He absolutely would not allow others to think that he was inferior to Han Chunming. His family conditions were much better than Han Chunming's. He had always believed that his abilities were much better than Han Chunming's. Han Chunming had a new bicycle, so how could he not have one?
Thinking of this, Chen Jianjun went to great lengths to ask his mother for a sponsorship of 30 yuan, but it was not enough even to buy a second-hand one. Thinking that Han Chunming liked those old things, he thought of using his own incense burner.
Han Chunming had actually been eyeing that incense burner for a long time. It was a Xuande incense burner, but Chen Jianjun didn't know the value of it. If he had known, he would definitely not have thought of it.
Chen Jianjun laughed when he thought of the scene when he bought a bicycle and went out to play with Su Meng. The more he listened, the more it sounded like a pig's squeal.
That night Chen Jianjun found Han Chunming. Han Chunming smiled as he saw Chen Jianjun sneaking around, knowing that he had gotten the incense burner.
The current Han Chunming is no longer the Han Chunming of the past. He heard a lot of dirty things when he was in the kitchen of the steel rolling mill. Naturally, he knew what kind of person Chen Jianjun was. He knew it clearly in his heart, but he still did not tear his face against him for the sake of face.
They live in the same compound and next door to each other. There is no need to be hostile to each other. Wouldn't it be awkward to meet each other?
"Chun Ming, I know you've been thinking about the incense burner in my house. I decided to fulfill your wish. After all, we grew up together."
Chen Jianjun is still like this. He obviously wants to exchange the incense burner for money, but he pretends to be generous. Han Chunming doesn't care, as long as he gets the incense burner.
"Oh? Did you get the stuff?"
"Isn't this it? Look?"
Chen Jianjun looked at Han Chunming proudly and wanted a good price. Han Chunming knew that the thing was good, but the price still needed to be negotiated.
"That's right, this is it. Please name your price."
Han Chunming was delighted, it was so easy to get the good stuff, and he showed no expression at all.
"One hundred, how about that? Isn't that good enough for Brother Chunming?"
Han Chunming was almost amused by his anger. You are just a newbie. If you knew the value of the incense burner, would you sell it to me?
"Jianjun, let's go. I see you are here to have fun with me. Do you think I am someone you are interested in?"
Good man, did you really think he was a fat sheep? He asked for a hundred yuan. Have you ever seen a hundred yuan? How could such a person be so afraid that his tongue would be blown away by the wind?
"Chunming, don't be anxious. Just name a price. If it's suitable, I'll give it to you."
Chen Jianjun also felt that he had gone too far. He was so angry when he saw Han Chunming's bicycle that he asked for an exorbitant price. He thought Han Chunming had made a fortune, so he asked for an exorbitant price.
I didn't expect Han Chunming to not even think about it. If you don't want me, where can I get the money? How can I go to get off work with Su Meng if I can't get the money?
"Twenty. If you give this incense burner to a junk collector, it would only cost fifteen at most. I'm giving you twenty. I've done my best."
Han Chunming didn't even look at the incense burner. He knew it was the one from Chen Jianjun's house, so there was no need for him to look at it. After observing it for a long time, he naturally knew that the incense burner was a treasure.
"Twenty is too low, you should give more. You are a working person, don't be so stingy."
I originally thought I could sell it for fifty or sixty, but I didn't expect them to sell it for twenty directly, which was totally in line with my expectations.
"Then tell me, how much?"
Han Chunming promptly passed the ball back to Chen Jianjun and said, "If you think the price I offered is too low, you can name your own price."
"Thirty, Chunming, just help me. You all have bicycles, but I don't. Thirty can't be any lower. If it's any lower, I'd rather not buy a bicycle."
Chen Jianjun didn't dare to make an offer. After thinking it over, he felt that thirty yuan was a good price. If he couldn't afford a new one, he could buy a second-hand one. At least he wouldn't have to worry about it.
"Okay, thirty is thirty. I'll consider it as helping you. But you have to write me a note. If your dad comes looking for me to take it back, I'll be at a big loss."
Han Chunming thought it would be better to write it clearly. What if Chen Jianjun's family found out tomorrow? If he gave it to her, he would be reluctant to do so. If he didn't give it to her, his mother would be angry. There was no need for that.
"Okay, no problem. Why are you so cautious now?"
Chen Jianjun really didn't want to take it back, mainly because he didn't know the value of the incense burner.
Han Chunming is no longer in a relationship with Su Meng, and the relationship between Chen Jianjun and Han Chunming is not that bad.
At least Chen Jianjun still treated Han Chunming as his childhood friend, and they did not become enemies just because of his superficial appearance.
After the payment was made, Han Chunming finally got the incense burner. Chen Jianjun left with satisfaction, thinking he had gotten a good deal.
Han Chunming felt that today was his highlight moment. He now had a bicycle, and Xu Jingli's family was also very impressed. At least Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen treated him very well, and Xu Jingli also began to pay attention to him and was curious about him.
Thinking of this, Han Chunming fell asleep happily and didn't even have any interest in reading the book that Hou Po gave him.
When He Yukai got home, he told Cai Wenqing, who was off work, about buying the yard today. Of course, he also told Cai Wenqing about his failed treasure hunt. Cai Wenqing looked at He Yukai with amusement. How could there be so many treasures waiting for you to discover?
Doesn't the owner of the house know the situation of his own house? However, He Yukai did not gain nothing. The furniture in the yard was all Qing Dynasty, and the paintings were also good. Although they were not famous paintings, they were also Qing Dynasty, at least enough to decorate the private dishes.
Now I am waiting for the notice from the leader. Once the hotel address is confirmed, I will start my career. There is still one thing I have not done, which is to go to Qing Province.
I still have some obsessions from my previous life that I need to sort out and make my thoughts clear. Also, Zheng Yaoxian should be sick now, so it is reasonable to bring him back for treatment, which is something I have thought about before.
He Yukai admired him from the bottom of his heart and hoped that he could have a good old age. However, the most important thing was to think about how to explain it to Aunt Qian. If there was no reasonable explanation, it would be a big deal just to know about Zheng Yaoxian.
I have already thought of a reason to go to Qing Province, which is to visit my comrades. I actually have a comrade who is said to have reached that level. I talked about this with Cai Wenqing, meaning to see if I can ask Aunt Qian to find out about it.
If Aunt Qian knew this news, I wonder if she would remember Zheng Yaoxian, and it would be natural for her to remember me. If Aunt Qian doesn't even know Zheng Yaoxian's location, then I can only take it one step at a time.
Zheng Yaoxian should not have disappeared like this. He can still play a role now. That is, Zheng Yaoxian has a unique method of training personnel. This can be regarded as making up for the regret that He Yukai had when watching TV in his previous life. The most important thing in life is to leave no regrets.
